There's a service called user/session-monitor.service whose execstart is /bin/sleep infinity. What is this used for? sleep is used by bash scipts to slow processes in a while loop, giving a chance to the user to kill the process. But with this sleep infinity, a pkill -9 sleep will match. Also killing this process, for some reason, kills the current X session.
What is this service unit supposed to be doing?
In this version of ubuntu, pulseaudio is a service started for the user. The different commands tried
> pulseaudio -k
> systemctl --user stop pulseaudio
> changing pulse.conf to include autospawn=no
> systemctl daemon-reload
> systemctl --user stop pulseaudio
> pkill -9 pulseaudio
It respawns all the time because systemd restarts it. Should i kill the systemd --user instance or is there something else that is tweakable?
I have a few repositories that are added to the sources other than the original. After updating, doing an apt search gives me a list like this:
snp-sites/disco 2.4.1-1 amd64 Binary code for the package snp-sites
sparse/disco 0.6.0-3 amd64 semantic parser of source files
sparse-test-inspect/disco 0.6.0-3 amd64 semantic parser of source files
stalin/disco 0.11-6build1 amd64 An extremely aggressive Scheme compiler
tcc/disco 0.9.27-8 amd64 small ANSI C compiler
Is it possible to get apt to display the repository source as well? As in can the maintainers add a feature to display the repository source
I'm behind a proxy, and dirmngr doesn't seem to honour the http_proxy rules. So i'm doing these steps
How do i resolve this error? On my system the apt-key list shows a similar signing key, so importing this from the /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ubuntu-keyring-2012-cdimage.gpg, i'm able to verify the ubuntu hashes. On the other hand, verifying a file with a key that is distributed with the release doesn't make sense. Using the pgp key that is returned from the sks-keyservers should be the preferred method.
Also, the web search on pool.sks-servers.net returns a page that is not https by default. Is it de rigeur to return results to keys using http?
I installed ubiquity using apt on a running Disco dingo, but when installing a new version of ubuntu using ubiquity, it installs ubuntu core 16 instead, which does not come with apt and uses snap. Is there anyway to get ubiquity to install ubuntu 19 instead?
When using traditional raid solutions, each raid device is a mirror of each other. But lvs -a -o +devices shows a lv_mlog created on just one specific device. Doesn't this mean if anything were to happen to that drive, nothing is recoverable?
I have a initrd that i would like to extract the contents of. lsinitramfs displays a few directories including kernel, var, lib, usr.
But when i cat initrd.img | cpio -id, only the kernel directory is extracted. Everything else isn't.
When i cpio -ctv < initrd.img, cpio returns premature end of file.
How do i inspect this initrd?
